    Love her! I remember the 'Battle of the Sexes' and how relieved and Vindicated we all felt when she trounced Bobby Riggs.

    I worked at Wimbledon Tennis when I was at uni, back in the day. I served Billie Jean King food, along with Chris Everett, Jimmy Conners etc. Of course I didn't give a damn about sport and I was, and still am obsessed with music so the importance of these moments passed me by.
